About
this siteWe've
created a database and photographic inventory on more than half
the 18th & 19th century churches in the state and add to
it each month. We welcome and solicit all contributions and suggestions
from our visitors.

The congregation
was organized in 1802, which is exceptionally early for a Methodist
church in this part of the state. It was
attached to the Flanders Circuit, a large one that required a
journey of 400 miles to visit all. The ministers preached from
eight to ten times a week. Until 1832 or 1833, meetings were
held in private homes, when this stone building was erected
at a cost of $1,300. The wooden frame tower and belfry were
added in 1907.
